Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear. I'm resizing via css so I'm not worried about that. BUT, I'd like to either use a gray background to letterbox the wide images, or display the image above the title if it is too wide. I'm using this but it's not working all the time: 
if ($picwidth / $picheight > 1.5) {
 $backcolor="#f5f5f5";
} else {
$backcolor="#ffffff";
}

So I divide the width by the height and if it's greater than 1.5 it should display the gray color. Some pics that the calculation equals 1.77 do not trigger the gray though. I might be doing it wrong.
